I know that Saffir did call Demando onnisan in the original story, but as I have only seen the DiC dubbed episodes (curses evil parents), I remember that Saffir called his brother Your Highness unless they were alone. Saphire did go out with Prisma, but in one episode, (after Moon escaped) Saphire asked Emerald to "Give the guy who has true feelings for you a chance." I always thought that was sad how she spurned him, and decided to write about his feelings over her.
As Sapphire walked down the corridor of the Dark Palace, he heard crying. He followed it and found Emerald, sitting in her room, on her bed, holding the photograph of Diamond that she loved so much.
"Why don't you love me?" She asked the picture, caressing the glass that touched Diamond's face. Everyone knew why. Neo-Queen Serenity.
Sapphire walked on down the corridor to his own room, sat down on his own bed and thought of the past few months.
Diamond's obsession with Serenity was becoming unhealthy and even invading on their mission. Sapphire's brother was so entranced by his enemy that he didn't see anything more than her beauty. What had happened to the great plan that Diamond had originally come here to do? To punish the people of earth who had exiled their family to the dark moon of Nemesis, and return the family to the Earth, where they belonged? It had almost taken a back burner to his desire to have the Queen.
Sapphire lay on his back and put his hands behind his head. And what of Emerald? She had loved the Prince since they were young, and yet he had never realized it. It was tearing her heart apart that Diamond paid her no attention whatsoever. She had once been very modest, wearing long gowns and suits that covered most of her body. She first started wearing her black miniskirt and boots when Diamond had completely ignored her at a formal occasion. Sapphire had noticed all of these things because he had a liking for the lady of Nemesis, but never spoke of it out of difference to her love of Diamond, no matter how misplaced it was.
Sapphire knew that Diamond's obsession was driving her insane. He didn't know how much longer she would be able to hold up under the strain before she snapped and did something drastic. Sapphire had tried to talk with his brother about it before, but always Wise Man or Rubeus had interrupted with some report on the mission to the past.
The time traveling was another thing that worried him. 'We've already lost so many of our people to that foolish mission.' He mused. The Ayakashi sisters, Cooan, Petz, Beruche, and Karaberas had been the first, each giving their power to live a primitive life in the past. Then Rubeus, failing miserably on the self detonating ship. Now Emerald was in charge of the mission to retrieve Small Lady. She was better than the others at gaining energy but always, the sailor senshi would stop her before the full potential had been gathered.
"The past was a delicate thing," He muttered to no one in particular. "If we interfere too much, we may destroy the foundations of the present, and destroy ourselves." It was Wise Man's idea to meddle in the flow of time. Sapphire's face drew into a mask of hatred. That demon, or whatever he truly was under that cowl, was always a source of trouble. He had kept Sapphire and Diamond from being close, as brothers should. Sapphire had to refer to his brother as "Your Highness," or "Your Majesty."
As he usually did when these thoughts became to much for him, Sapphire got up and began walking toward the throne room, to speak with his brother. Emerald was still crying. The sound tugged at his heartstrings. He couldn't leave her alone.
He gently rapped on the half-open door to her room. "Emerald? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" She snapped.
"May I enter?"
"Do what you wish." She sounded miserable.
Emerald was lying on her back on her bed, tissues everywhere. She raised up and looked at him. Sapphire saw how red her eyes were. "Diamond?" He asked.
She nodded and made room for him on the bed. Sapphire sat down and she leaned against him, resting her head on his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist. "What is it about me that he doesn't like?"
"It's not you. Diamond is under a lot of pressure. His mission is at a stalemate and he's not sure what to do right now."
"And he stares at that damned Serenity all the time." She sniffed. "What is it about her that he loves so much?"
"I don't know." He put his left arm around her and rubbed her arm. "I just don't know."
Sapphire looked down at Emerald as she cried into his shoulder. 'What is it about you that makes me love you?' He thought.
Emerald looked up at him, then laid her head back down on his shoulder. 'Maybe I should say something to her about the way I feel.'
"Diamond..." She muttered miserably. She gave a small sob and her tears started anew.
'Maybe not.' Sapphire thought. 'I'll always just be a shoulder to cry on. Her heart belongs to my brother.' He shook his head sadly as his lady cried for her prince.
